Mission

Change the Education to Change the World

Vision

Our vision is to create a revolutionary education system that produces a new generation of individuals who excel in academics, embrace their faith (Deen), embody outstanding character traits, and nurture a deep sense of spirituality. Our goal is to establish a strong foundation that will cultivate the development of future leaders and role models who will positively impact all aspects of life and society.

Future Leaders of the Nation and World.

Definition of Education

When a generation transfers its faith, beliefs, divine knowledge, wisdom, traditions, norms, practices, experiences, history, culture, language, and their heroes’ achievements, to the next generation, the process of this transmission is called “education.” 

“Education is the transmission of civilization” —Will Durant, an educationist, historian, writer and philosopher (1885-1981)

Impact of the Western Education System:

1. The Western materialist civilization has replaced Islamic civilization.

2. It has created a significant generation gap.

3. It has transformed hearts and minds.

4. It is currently impacting biological gender and sexuality.

Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), a renowned philosopher and poet, once commented on the Western Education System, stating that:

تعلیم کے تیزاب میں ڈال اس کی خودی کو

ہو جائے ملائم تو جدھر چاہے، اسے پھیر

تاثیر میں اکثیر سے بڑھ کر ہے یہ تیزاب

سونے کا ہمالہ ہو تو مٹی کا ہے اک ڈھیر

Taleem ke tezaab mein daal us ki khudi ko
ho jaye mulaem to jidhar chahay, usay phair
Taseer mein aksir se barh kar hai yeh tezaab
sonay ka himala ho to mitti ka hai ik dhair

Dip his Self in the acid of education

And mold it to your liking with careful manipulation

This acid can be more potent than most

Turning a mountain of gold into mere dust and ghost

In the past, students in our educational institutions used to engage in discussions and arguments on the teachings of Allah, Rasul Allahﷺ, and various Islamic scholars such as Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Muhammad, Imam Shafei, Imam Malik, Imam Hanbal, Imam Ghazali, Ibn Khuldoon, and others. We used to learn about the lives and works of Khulfa e Rashideen, Sahaba Ikram, Mufassirin, Muhaddisin, Imams of Fiqh, as well as Islamic philosophers, historians, and social and physical scientists.

However, the Western materialistic education system has now replaced this traditional education with secular education, which focuses on the teachings of philosophers and men of literature such as Rousseau, Voltaire, Karl Marx, David Hume, Friedrich Nietzsche, John Locke, Milton, and Spencer.

Now in Canadian public schools’ role models are successful LGBT Sportsperson, LGBT Actors and Artists, LGBT teachers of Physical and Health Education.

Save your Children and grandchildren to save the generation.

Purpose of Education in Islam

1. Bounties of the world and hereafter:

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةً۬ وَفِى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً۬ وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

“Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of Fire” (Al-Baqrah: 201).

1. Obedience of the Lord:

As the Creator and Sustainer of all life, God desires that His noblest creation – humanity – emulate the unwavering obedience demonstrated by His other creations.

 “All living creatures and all angels in the heavens and on the earth are in prostration before Allah; and never do they behave in arrogant defiance. They hold their Lord, Who is above them, in fear, and do as they are bidden” (16: 49-50).

 وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ

I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship (obey) Me. [Quran Surah Adh-Dhariat (51): 56]

1. Best Character:

Muhammad ﷺ , the Messenger of Allah is our role model

لَّقَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ

“There is indeed an excellent model for you in the Messenger of Allah” [Surah Al-Ahzab (33): 21].

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ۬ 

“And you are surely on an excellent standard of character” [Surah Al Qalam (68): 4].

The Prophet Muhammad (S.) emphasized the importance of exemplary character when he said, “I have been sent as a prophet to teach the attributes of the utmost best character.”

This underlines the fundamental importance of nurturing good character in students through education.

1. Spiritual Requirement:

Education is not merely a social requirement, but also a spiritual and psychological one. In fact, knowledge is an essential element that elevates human beings, as evidenced by the example of Adam (AS) who was superior to the angels due to his knowledge. Therefore, it is our duty to strive for both academic and moral excellence as we pursue education.

1. Purification:

Education, among other things, has the objective of purification, as stated in the Quranic verse,

"Our Lord, send among them a messenger from themselves who will recite to them Your verses and teach them the Book and wisdom and PURIFY them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise." (Al-Qur'an 2:129).

AsSeerah GOALS

The Seerah Education Foundation is committed to achieving the following goals:

1. Raising awareness within the Muslim community and throughout Canada as a whole about the “indoctrination” of young minds in the current public education system, which we believe will ultimately ruin our children's lives and future generations.

2. Developing and implementing an alternative education system that seamlessly integrates DEEN and DUNYA with a holistic curriculum.

“Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge”. (Sahih Muslim)

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, ‘When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him’. (Muslim)

By investing in AsSeerah Project, you may get all three.

There are scores of Surah*, the Quran tries to inculcate in Muslims a particular quality which it calls Infa’q, i.e. the quality of giving away one’s own assets in charity, as it increases wealth instead of decreasing it, it brings happiness, guarantees, success in this world and hereafter, and above all it brings divine awards.
